The Chronic Consumer

Buying perfume is such a personal choice that I don’t expect anyone to take advice from a website. Nevertheless, I want to write about Lauren by Ralph Lauren because it has been my favorite fragrance ever since I was in high school — which is more than 15 years now. In all that time, I haven’t tired of this scent. And even though I’ve tried other fragrances over the years, Lauren is the one I always come back to. I absolutely love it!

There’s no way I can adequately describe this scent, so I’ll try to recount what others have said about it. I guess there’s a combination of rose and carnation in there, and something else, such as “sandalwood” or perhaps “amber.” Again, I’m not really sure, as I’m not very good at coming up with descriptions. But suffice it to say, this perfume is light and sweet — not overpowering in any way. It’s a very feminine scent, and is perfect for me.

I have a hard time finding Lauren in local stores these days, so I just order it online from websites that have huge inventories of every perfume you can think of. I can get a 4oz. eau de toilette spray bottle for about $60, and that lasts me for more than a year.I couldn’t ask for a better deal than that!
